Reason

...Finally, what is Reason ? You have often asked me ; and this is my answer :--

Whene'er the mist, that stands 'twixt God and thee, [Sublimates] to a pure transparency, That intercepts no light and adds no stain-- There Reason is, and then begins her reign !

But alas !

--`tu stesso, ti fai grosso Col falso immaginar, s� che non vedi Ci� che vedresti, se l'avessi scosso.
